The center of the river has slumped and the two banks have moved about a meter closer together which caused this footbridge to be so twisted. There is a suggestion that this be left as a memorial to the earthquake.

This is how the building looked when it was built - fine indeed! democam.iopen.co.nz/ An engineer who owns a similar building in Dunedin, and is willing to put money into this building's restoration, is sure it could be stabilised, just like the Railway Clock Tower. And the t...
The side wall of the building on the left collapsed onto their roof, collapsing it into the stonemasons store. Several gravestones were also damaged!

This has made a huge mess for the residents to clean up. I heard on the news that homes have been damaged by subsidence in areas of earthquake-caused liquefaction like this.
Sand volcanoes put the silt all over the road.
It would have been a glorious Spring day in Christchurch had it not been for the magnitude 7.1 earthquake at 4:30 am. All the water and silt you can see covering the street in this photo erupted from the ground following the earthquake.
